Chapter Text
2 months later
they had found an old tree trunk, her and egg
big thick walls they now called home, small trinkets and clothes scattered about and flowers egg planted outside when she requested it
Flowers that bloomed were much prettier ones then ones that were withered and old, she’d insisted when he asked why she didn’t place them herself
egg always had a sad look on his face whenever she talked like that, about herself and her curse.
he insisted back she should atleast plant one flower , somewhere
“We both live here, I don’t care if the flowers withered” while she didn’t see the point she did it anyway, she planted a small flower next to his varying blue’s and red’s
it used to be a vibrant purple now it rotted next to it .
She tried to still talk to spoke and mapicc , it was hard since they lived quite far away
she didn’t mind, less people bothered them out here
less people she could accidentally hurt.
A small prick in her finger interrupted her thoughts , red staining the beige thick fabric she had on her lap
“oh .. damn it—“ now the tapestry was ruined ! she had nearly finished it too..
“what’s up; Why are we whining ..?” She looked up too find the same dark skin and white hair she’d grown comfortable with in the past months
“nothing — just ruining my life’s work.” She mumbled grabbing the tapestry with her non- bleeding hand and throwing it on the bed with a little more force then needed. grabbing one of those health potions with slight suspicion in her eyes
“uh huh.. what’d that tapestry do to you?” she didn’t object when the boy walked over and picked it up, amphoreus was gonna come up eventually.
on the tapestry she failed to finish was the people she used to know, both chryso heir’s trailblazer’s and her sister
though that part remained unfinished and stained by her blood
“these,, your friends?” He asked hesitantly, tilting his head and the tapestry with it
“could .. say that” she spoke quietly, more alike to when she first got here then now.
she shook her head and out the half empty health potion away to grab at the tapestry.
“it’s not important. I won’t see them again.” She pat, staring at the fabric of the recreation of her friends, she’d wanted to capture them before she forgets, was that even a good idea?
she threw it in a corner, not to be touched
“forget about it” she mumbled, and walked away
・・・・・
the next day when she woke up, it was hung up on-top of the door , stuck to the wood with an eye shaped clip.
she didn’t say anything about it, it still remained unfinished, the blood washed out
“if u ever wanna finish it, it will be there”
she didn’t reply to that either .
egg liked fishing , it was why they had a small pond outside their house, she didn’t see why he liked fishing, it was boring and forced her to focus for more then a minute on something
she also noted how cruel it was to keep fish in a pond just to get fished up.
“it’s their life purpose bro!”
“its cruel is what it is..” she mumbled back, giggling a bit.
to be honest she didn’t care, not about the fish anyway
just that egg was happy about it
They were sitting at the small dock they had made, egg fishing and her laying on the grass not to far off half asleep.
“do u wanna talk about them ?” He asked after a while of them not talking
She didn’t reply for a while. Was she even that close to them ? Could she call them her friends even ?
“not really.” what was the point of dwelling on the past anyway, she was stuck here no need to get sad for people she would never see again
Egg nodded and left it at that, back to his rants and nonsense speeches
・・・・・
life had been quiet for a while, peaceful once they got far enough away from the chaos of the main cities and towns, she didn’t know if she like that..
egg did, he was content to spend his days fishing and writing to that scholar thing
she didn’t know why but ever since she got to this .. server (she now knew that it was called) she was itching to do something.
“Would u mind if I went out exploring ?” She asked one evening, braiding her damp hair in eggs borrowed shirt again
“woww, so your leaving me??” Egg replied with feigned hurt in his voice, she panicked and shook her head
“no no ! I just—“ she got interrupted by eggs giggle, waving his hands
“a joke — a joke; wow u still don’t get sarcasm yet..” she pouted at him
“Seriously, I’ll be fine. I’m fine with it” he continued with his book while talking
“just come home safe please— the server can be overwhelming sometimes” he mumbled , his monotone voice cracking a bit with worry
“I’ll be so careful, promise”
